Director of Security and Campus Safety- Bates College

Founded in 1855, Bates is one of the nation’s leading liberal arts colleges, with a long history of commitments to principles of human dignity and diversity.

Since its inception, Bates has been a coeducational, nonsectarian, residential college with special commitments to academic rigor and to programs and opportunities by qualified learners of all backgrounds. Historically, Bates students and graduates have linked education with service, leadership, and obligations beyond themselves.

Bates has highly competitive admission, graduates over 90% of its entering students, and over half of its alumni earn graduate degrees. Bates has 1,700 students, 200 faculty members and 550 staff and administrative employees.

The College is proud of its strong involvements in the Lewiston-Auburn communities, Maine’s second largest urban area, with a population of approximately 65,000. Bates is located on a beautiful, 109-acre, traditional New England campus in Lewiston, Maine, a lively small city enjoying an exciting economic and cultural revitalization. With an engaged citizenry, lively arts scene, and historic downtown, this walkable city is 35 miles north of Portland, 140 miles north of Boston, and 340 miles north of New York City.

The Position

Reporting to the Associate Dean of Students, the Director of Security & Campus Safety is responsible for the overall protection and safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors at Bates and for the security of all college facilities and properties. The Director is responsible for ensuring that staff within Security & Campus Safety are equipped to appropriately and respectfully work with campus and community constituencies to enforce, investigate, and document possible violations of college policy. The Director supervises security officers, communications/dispatch officers, the college’s concierge and building control. The Director serves as the primary liaison to federal, state and local law enforcement and emergency first responders.

With an increasingly racially and culturally diverse student body, our ideal candidate will view their work through a lens of diversity and inclusion. The Director will proactively develop a training model, policies, and procedures for all Security staff members specifically designed to build and strengthen relationships with the student body. Specifically, the Director will ensure these programs address the needs of students from historically underrepresented groups including students of color, LGBTQ students, international students, students with disabilities, first-generation college students, and the student organizations dedicated to supporting these students on campus. Additionally, the Director will develop strong partnerships with various campus offices and key stakeholders to ensure the work of inclusion is effectively and holistically integrated into the entire organizations. Those offices may include: the offices of Equity and Diversity, Intercultural Education, Accessible Education and Student Support, among others.

As a core member of the Senior Emergency Response Group (SERG), the Director of Security & Campus Safety will apply topical expertise to both develop appropriate emergency protocols and training, and to respond as appropriate to campus emergencies. Fulfilling these responsibilities involves working closely with the Vice President for Finance and Administration, the President’s Chief of Staff, and the college’s Chief Communications Officer. The Director of Security & Campus Safety will also work closely with the Director of Environmental Health & Safety, as well as the Assistant Vice President for Human Resources and Environmental Health and Safety.

QUALIFICATIONS

The successful candidate will have a Bachelor’s degree. Master’s degree preferred. Prior experience working on a college campus is strongly preferred.

The ideal candidate will have:
